  • Patent number: 10811709
    Abstract: A method of controlling purge of a fuel cell system for a vehicle is provided. The method determines whether a purge function is normally performed in controlling purge of discharging nitrogen, hydrogen, and vapor within an anode of a fuel cell system. Particularly, the method confirms whether purge is performed by measuring a duty or a current applied to a hydrogen supply valve and measuring a change in the duty before and after an application of a purge valve operation command while adjusting a pressure inside the anode, which supplies hydrogen, to be uniform. Further, a hydrogen supply amount supplied into an anode is estimated and a change rate of a hydrogen supply amount supplied to the anode and a hydrogen amount consumed during a generation of the fuel cell system are estimated during a purge function, to determine whether purge is actually performed based on the estimated information.

  • Patent number: 10788140
    Abstract: A solenoid valve is provided to control a gas supply pressure such as a hydrogen supply valve of a fuel cell system. In particular, the solenoid valve includes: a valve body including a nozzle and a valve chamber, a nozzle opening/closing sheet, and a gas bypass hole formed on the valve body to communicate with a valve chamber of the valve body when the nozzle is closed and supply gas to a first chamber of the valve chamber through the gas bypass hole. With this arrangement, the solenoid valve may inhibit gas leak that can occur in the nozzle due to a diameter error of the nozzle due to a production deviation and a production deviation of a regulator.
